India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[ZexyZahid]

Gambhir is gone now also. It will be difficult for India now.

Anderson gets Gambhir too. 100th ODI wicket for him. It's all in the hair they say.

Cook and Bell answered their critics in the best possible way, I have to admit they would not have been in my team for today, so well done to the coaches for sticking with them. Can't believe we only lost 2 wickets in an ODI.

 

[sohum]

Poor start from India. To be honest, I would have asked for a few more replays in Ganguly's dismissal (unless the third umpire was watching different footage) because the stumps were obscured when Prior was dislodging the bails. It was a single frame decision from what I saw.

Gambhir played a stupid shot but that's what happens when you are up against a large total and you have faced 5 dot balls.

Also, it seems the Indian batsmen want to give the English fielders some ground fielding practice. They have been hitting shot after shot from the middle of the bat to the middle of the fielder's palms.

the run rate is 6.5ish, so england are definetley on the card for the victory here.

Granted this is a terrible start to the Indian innings, but I wouldn't give up so easily on our chances considering Yuvraj, Karthik, and Dhoni are still to come. I don't think the RRR will prove too be much of a problem either as long as these two can build a significant partnership.

easy to say....:

we really do need to take advantage of these powerplays now, you know start going over top, because after 20 overs when the field is back, boundaries will be harder to come by.

great, now tendulkar has clipped to midwicket, india 34-3

 

[pal]

easy to say....

I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to Indian cricket.

And as I type that, Tendulkar falls, but I still dare to dream.

 

[Leggie]

yes but now the rate has almost gone up to 7 now, so we have to score very quickly and keep wickets in hand. arghh

now yuvraj gone, brilliant catch by cook

 

[jkartik]

its a fact that indian pace bowling sucks time and time again.....
india havent yet found a frontline & CONSISTENT pace bowler since the retirement
of javagal srinath.
only zaheer khan has come somewhat close to be called the frontline bowler....
also, the likes of nehra,balaji,JP yadav etc have disappeared. !!!!!

i've been saying it throughout that chawla isnt yet international material...
powar is anyday better than him....

meanwhile, indians are really struggling to find gaps.....!!

 

[sohum]

Great batting here from India. We should make this with overs to spare.

OH F*** !! tendulkar gone !!!

You mean Yuvraj, right?

 

[Leggie]

Great batting here from India. We should make this with overs to spare.

yeah, india all out back to the pavillion with overs to spare...:

You mean Yuvraj, right?

OMG !!! why do indians suck so much during ODIs ??
they are a totally different side when playing odis....

 

[BigCrickNan]

288/2. Hmmm, I can't help but feel that's not enough against India. Ah well, runs on the board and all that.

At 35/4 off 12, I think we're almost safe.

 

[Leggie]

And i wish commentators stop calling india a 'world class batting line-up', theyre not a wordl class batting line up because theyre simply not consistent enough!!

James Anderson is a superstar and particularly in ODI's. Gambhir, Sachin and YUvraj's scalps isn't bad going
